What are the Gifts of Eclipse Energy?
During eclipse seasons, be prepared to go through a rather intense period and do the work. That is the gift of an eclipse. They are an opportunity for you to heal and clear all that old energetic debris lodged in your system. They wipe your slate clean so that you can begin a new path feeling lighter, brighter and clearer.
My advice to you is to not see loss or closure as a bad thing, as it will represent a transformation that you might not entirely see yet, but that will soon be revealed, or at a later date. It all depends on current energies, your own personal self growth and where you are on your life path.

Eclipses initiate positive change and major life transformation, with the promise of opening you up to greater levels of awareness and intuitive insight. It can act as a blessing by helping shake you up and prepare you to move towards your life purpose. You just need to be willing to go through the process consciously. Reluctance and fighting the energy will only cause more pain, chaos and amplification - and we all know what that can be like!
As you end an old cycle, you enter a new one. So acknowledge that this is a very marked time of completions and endings, and let go of anything that is holding you back or causing you pain.
Take time to meditate and spend some quiet time within in order to tap into the hidden revelations and deeper truths that the eclipse is bringing through to your intuitive consciousness, to open you up to higher insight and other hidden meanings that are there for you unveil and explore.

How Often do Eclipses Occur & How Long does their Influence Last?
Knowing in advance when an eclipse season is coming up can be very helpful, as you will be more consciously aware rather than blindly affected.
Eclipses always come in pairs - the solar eclipse is during the new moon is and then the lunar eclipse is during the full moon, and they are always two weeks apart. The next pair comes approximately 5-6 months later.
Eclipses also come in a particular family of signs (such as Cancer & Capricorn) for 2 or 3 cycles (12-18months) until it moves into another family of astrological signs.
The influence of an eclipse can be felt on the day, five days before and after, an sometimes even a month or so in advance for a lunar eclipse. In fact a good rule of thumb is that you will feel the amp up and acceleration from the full or new moon two weeks before it when the doorway starts to open or even in the lead up to that. You will also feel a great intensity in the vortex between the two eclipses.
According to Astrologist Susan Miller, if an eclipse brings you some kind of message or news, it is usually (but not always) delivered within 4 days of the eclipse, and even 6 months later if another planet comes along to assist in the triggering of the news.

It may also propel you to make a major life decision, which you might not otherwise do or face. In this way eclipses are very powerful, because they act as a bridge of opportunity that push you to walk along into a new landscape.
They force you to make changes and take a plunge. They wipe away past energy that no longer serves you and the way things used to be, and make you realize you don't want to go back there anyway. You can put those old chapters behind you.
Eclipses expose anything weak or needing to go or change. They are a gift in order to propel you to make changes in your life. Changes can be anything from jobs, income, financial or business changes (both positive or negative), romantic relationships (improvements, engagements, break ups, separation or meeting someone new), eclipsing certain people or toxic friendships out of your life, health issues or moving house.
They can provide you with a "Go get em! I can do it!" attitude. If there is something you have been wanting to do, or a bit scared to try, an eclipse can push you along.

Eclipses Bring Illumination, Revelation & Truth Exposure
During eclipse season, things are illuminated, secrets are revealed and and truth is exposed. Anything hidden or brushed under the carpet comes up to the surface for illumination and processing. It will rise and divulge anything that you have ignored, denied or not seen. You can run but you cant hide!
They powerfully bring to the surface and illuminate what was otherwise buried, hidden, or repressed. Eclipses provide the opportunity to energetically acknowledge and become aware of any current and past issues, so that you can more completely come to terms with them and let them go. It is a matter of facing the truth and your fears head on and being willing to release them energetically, rather than denying them or pushing them down even further.

The full picture is provided and you receive new, improved and heightened perspective. This is the time when you can put all those puzzle pieces together and move on. It is like you come out of the dark and answers or information is provided - so it's a profound time of solving mysteries and birthing a new understanding.
During an eclipse, someone's true character or motivations might be revealed, so you can see someone for who they truly are . Any sense of disillusionment will be dissolved and you will be able to see the darker, hidden or shadow aspects of a certain person's true character.
This will help you solve issues and move on in a new light. It offers you insight and can propel you to move forward or make changes.

The Symptoms of Eclipse's Truth Pill
It is a purging process, so you might notice that you are getting antsy,
You might have aches and pains and your sleep might be very interrupted. You will probably get tired very easily, crash to bed earlier and need to rest more.

You will have a heightened sense of awareness even if you can’t quite put your finger on it (yet), but it is an inner sense, like a feeling or pull that something is coming or being revealed.

Eclipses Bring News
Eclipses can bring news of some kind. This can mean news that comes with a sense of shock or unexpected surprise, and even foretell big change to come.
It might be personal about you or someone you know. It might mean that you hear about major life events about other people that you know.
Pay attention to any news and messages that you receive personally or hear about through global news sources - look at topical events and forecasts at this time, as well as anything that stands out about people in the public eye such as politicians and celebrities. There might be whistleblowers or people called out for their bad behaviour or arrested for crime, corruption, fraud etc.
also keep an eye out in general for any signs and synchronicities. Be conscious of the mysterious workings of the universe, accept and acknowledge the information and move on.
There's no going back during an eclipse and in some cases fast actions will be required.

Eclipses Bring Energy Acceleration & Time Speeding Up
Eclipses have a way of speeding things up and schedules can suddenly or dramatically change. You will especially notice this if one of the planets in your own astrological chart is touched by the eclipse - in this case there is a great sense of acceleration and forward movement in your life. It will feel like time is moving extra fast.
Tips: What to do & not do During Eclipse Periods
It is known since ancient times, that during an eclipse period it is not wise to act on impulses or make decisions (especially major ones), take big actions or give ultimatums, especially under the full moon lunar eclipse. If you do so it will most likely backfire or not work out as you planned.
It is wiser to use this period to reflect on and consider your thoughts and ideas, or the input of others, and bide your time. Also, check facts before you make any assumptions, act out or proceed further.
Wait until things settle down more and also wait until you get more information. It is a good idea to wait until at least a few weeks after the eclipse. Keep in mind that things might keep changing even while you wait, so patience is warranted.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you will be more emotionally charged during this time, which will have impact on your thinking, moods and behaviour. Your thoughts and judgement will likely be askew and impaired.
Things will most likely make more sense or get better later.
The same applies in any matter or person you need to clear the air with. It is highly advisable to not raise issues or argue during eclipse periods. Do it a few weeks before or after an eclipse, never during! That is because things will be much more INTENSE and things might blow up or get out of hand due to the full on energy.

How to Process Your Thoughts & Emotions During Eclipses
I can't state enough just how much things can come up during eclipse transits to be acknowledged, processed and released. As an intuitive and energy healer, I have learned time and time again that this is the process that needs to be undergone.
Ultimately, the three steps below bring about for healing and transformation, but you must be willing to do the work consciously so that you can move forward rather than stay stagnant or fall backwards.
You will be much better off doing the work rather than burying things even further deeply inside, which will only make you reach boiling point and it will come out in even uglier ways and will be much tougher to go through.
Here are the 3 Steps:
1. Acknowledge
The angels have shown me that at this first stage the light is shining on the matter. The angels revealed this in a clairvoyant vision where I saw this part of the process represented a seed in the palm of my hand, and powerful light from God Source shining upon it. Light is information. This is the seed of acknowledgement, where you recognize exactly what is coming up, or at least have the sense that something is - get in touch with those stirring emotions and memories rising up to the surface.
2. Process
Be willing to not only look at but also process your thoughts and feelings - allow them to arise, brew, percolate and move around your consciousness. This allows movement of energy.
3. Release
The light that shines on the seed in step one has now encapsulated light on your issue completely. It is powerfully activating in your life. You can ask that light and the assistance of God, the angels and Archangel Michael to help you clear and release this situation as an energy form.
